title: [Relationship between psoriasis and human growth hormone (author's transl)].
abstract: The behavior of the capillary bed, increased epidermopoiesis, increased total metabolism of psoriasis efflorescence and its first manifestation, principally in the second decade of life, drew our attention to the behavior of the human growth hormone. A rise in the serum level of the human growth hormone compared with the normal (40 control subjects) significantly correlating with the extent of the skin symptoms, acuteness and therapy was established in the serum by diurnal determination in 70 psoriasis patients. According to this, psoriasis is the etiological consequence of hereditary persistence of production of the human growth hormone with individual penetrance.
